No need if you can get a BC250 for less than a PS5 these days - though even that may be difficult now

This brings me back. Some of my best memories were playing DayZ in 2012 and getting absolutely torn apart by bandits.

Don't think I've had a gaming experience like that since, including with the standalone version

I think deepseeks leadership are bad too

…did Opus 5 write this?

I’ve heard “earns its keep” in only two contexts in my life - the intro to the song “Regulate” and terrible Claude docs

I went down a YouTube rabbit hole of Gerry Anderson and I think it’s fascinating how (from watching the intros) how machine and (cynically) perhaps toy centric the shows appeared to be - this rabbit hole ended with watching the 2004 Thunderbirds movie (do not recommend even though the star made The Brutalist)

This is extremely impressive work; kudos. I was thinking about this with regard to Asahi's anti-LLM policy just last week - they're going to get completely outmoded by LLM-harnessed reverse engineering, if only for personal use and not upstreaming.

I'm surprised you worked with Niklas on this. I'd have assumed you'd think he was competent, given he went to Binghamton and not Stanford.

Presumably, that would be what the KVM/some kind of power switch would be used for

Wifi drivers, display drivers, maybe graphics drivers...

Is there anything stopping this from being thrown some investment plus LLM tokens? I wonder what a KVM connected to the machine plus a few thousand in Astra/Fable tokens could do here. It seems funny to think of software feature defects in OSS software now if people are building full recombinations of closed source software daily now!

Makes me wonder - in the year of Astra and Fable what prevents people from building bespoke BSDs for their hardware rapidly now?

I built this concept a few weeks ago even - not nearly as good though, I used wiki data plus LLMs for most of the data sourcing and reverse geo coding but the dataset here seems a lot cleaner.

Is Asahi an LLM-hostile project? I'd imagine this is something that would be benefitted tremendously with a Fable class model

But weren't they all made outside of Hollywood? Emeryville, around Europe and the UK, and then the UK for Toy Story 5, Odyssey, and Spiderman respectively?

IIRC the Alexa enabled voice remotes also used a similarly small model though perhaps not this small

That’s amazing! I live next to their former office. Do you know which theater they rented out?

I was hoping for Pantheon too (I’m 90% sure Holstrom uses EMacs instead of Vim?)
